ISAIAH BEN ELIJAH DI TRANI
- ISAIAH BEN ELIJAH DI TRANI
- ISAIAH BEN ELIJAH DI TRANI (the Younger, "Riaz"; d. c. 1280),
rabbinical scholar; grandson of isaiah b. mali di trani (the
Elder). Little is known of his life, and even his works have remained
mostly in manuscript. His novellae are known mainly from quotations in
Joshua Boaz' Shiltei ha-Gibborim on the Halakhot
of alfasi . Isaiah's halakhic works on a few tractates
(Berakhot and Shabbat (Jerusalem, 1964) and on
Eruvin, Pesaḥim, Yoma, and Sukkah
(ibid., 1966) have been published and several fragments
appear in the Me'at Devash of D. Sassoon (1928). He
frequently quotes his grandfather, and his own Kunteres
ha-Re'ayot, apparently an extensive work in which he enlarged on
his brief decisions. In his halakhic works Isaiah disputes philosophical
interpretations while he deals with the aggadah. Isaiah
adopted a less tolerant attitude toward philosophy and the general
sciences than did his grandfather. The Perush Rabbenu
Yeshayah, printed in Mikra'ot Gedolot, as well as the
commentaries on the Prophets and Hagiographa recently published as the
work of his grandfather, should apparently be ascribed to him.
